大股东提议设立专门的董事会级技术委员会

By

-- 据周五提交给澳大利亚证券交易所的文件显示,Block(ASX:XYZ)的股东纽约州共同退休基金已提交提案,建议设立一个专门的董事会级技术委员会。该基金认为,Block目前的技术监管“严重不足”。 该退休基金表示,设立专门的技术委员会将有助于减轻目前不堪重负的三人审计和风险委员会的负担。该委员会的职责之一是直接监督Block旗下工业银行Square Financial Services的审计和风险职能。 该股东表示,这“造成了一项实质性的、持续性的合规负担,而这项负担完全独立于该委员会对母公司技术风险和企业网络安全的监管之外”。 该退休基金指出,Block缺乏专门的技术委员会使股东“面临持续的合规和网络安全风险”。该基金还补充说,董事会目前有能力承担这项职责,因为有四名董事目前没有担任任何委员会的职务。 该提案将在定于6月16日举行的年度股东大会上进行表决。 布洛克尚未回复的置评请求。
